Content warning: This episode contains descriptions of child abuse and references to sexual abuse. Kreed, host of the Estranged Heart Podcast, shares her perspective as both a formerly estranged adult daughter and a formerly estranged mother, now reconciled with her daughters. Kreed and Whitney cover the common mistakes parents make when first reconnecting with children and what their children actually need from them instead. In this episode, you'll learn: - Why reconciliation is an ongoing process, not a one-time repair - Why "defending, justifying, and explaining" backfires with an estranged child - Why rushing contact after reconciliation often causes a relapse into estrangement - Why "what is within your control" matters more than trying to get the other person to change Connect with Creed Website: https://theestrangedheart.com/podcast Whitney Goodman is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and the founder of Calling Home, a membership community that helps people navigate complex family dynamics and break harmful cycles.
